Installing Hard Disks

For supported hard disk types, consult our authorized sales or technical

support staff.The following examples illustrate how to install hard disks

on a workbench. The installation process may vary according to

conditions.

The hard drive interface is located inside the device. You need to remove

the front panel to install the hard disk.The hard disks are hot‐swappable

and support mixed insertion. The disks can be powered on in order to

minimize the impulse current produced during the power‐on process.

WARNING!

The hard disk can be hot‐plugged only when no data is reador written. The hard disk indicator is not blinking when no data is processed.

Please wear anti‐static gloves before installing a hard disk. Insert hard disks into the slots of a running device at an interval of

at least six seconds

Install a hard disk into the NVR500 Series as follows:

1. Fix the hard disk to with screws to the handle bar on the correct

side.

2. Loosen the screws that secure the chassis cover with a cross

screwdriver.

7

3. Align the hard disk with the slot and push in the hard disk gently

and steadily.

4. Push the hard disk in position with your thumb until the buckles

click.Repeat the above steps to install all the hard disks.

5. Cover the front panel and fix the screws to secure the front panel.

and attach the pads to the bottom of the equipment where

appropriate.

2. Place the equipment on a clean workbench. Now the installation

process is complete.

Mounting into a Cabinet

WARNING!

Ensure that the cabinet is equipped with a tray or slide rail beforeinstalling the equipment in a cabinet. The equipment must be supportedon a tray or slide rail instead of a suspension loop.

1. As shown in the following figure, place the suspension loop with a

screw hole close to the chassis. Align the suspension loop with the

screw hole, and use two M4*8 screws to fasten the suspension

loop to the chassis.

9

Connecting to a third‐party device via RS485 interface

Use an RS485 （422 compatible） connector under the RJ45 category

to connect to a third‐party device.

A third‐party device control cable must be an RS485 cable that meets

the following requirements:

• The RJ45 connector's T+ and R+ terminals are shorted and then

connected to the third‐party device's RS485+ connector; the RJ45

connector's T‐ and R‐ terminals are shorted and then connected to

the RS485 connector of the third‐party device, as shown in the

following figure.

• If the third‐party device is grounded, the third‐party device control

cable's Terminal G is connected to the RJ45 connector's Terminal G

(No.7 or 8).

1: Third‐party device RS485 control cable

2: RS485+

3: RJ45 connector's T+ and R+ terminals are shorted

4: RS485‐

5: RJ45 connector's T‐ and R‐ terminals are shorted

6: Twisted pair

When using an RS422 cable as a third‐party device control cable,

connect the cable as follows:

• Connect RJ45's T+ to the third‐party device's R+; RJ45's T‐ to the

third‐party device's R‐; RJ45's R+ to the third‐party device's T+;

RJ45's R‐ to the third‐party device's T‐, as shown in the following

figure.

terminal.

Do as follows:

• Connect the Phoenix connector's Terminal A to the RS485 terminal

of the third‐party device; Terminal B to the RS485‐ terminal of the

third party device as shown below.


cable's Terminal G is connected to Terminal G of the Phoenix

connector.
